We're living in really serious times. You have to have lived a little while I guess to know really how much the world is changing, and how frighteningly fast it is changing. And I have lots of scriptures that I want to show you tonight, especially in the first part of this. And I think it's important for you to see them because we really should not be all that surprised by anything that's going on today because it's all already told us in the word of God.
And I just want to say if you're alive at this time in history, it's not an accident. God chose you to live in this time, and He's chose me to live in this time for a purpose. And we've got what it takes to be here, to not be afraid, to be victorious, and to be people that God can use to change other people's lives. The world needs Christ. The part of the world that doesn't know Him, that's what they need.
The government's not our answer, God's the answer. We need God in our life. And so many people, they are mixed up about God. They've had some attempt at some brand of religion, and they've gotten hurt, and it didn't meet their needs, and so now they think God can't help them. And sadly, a lot of people aren't going to church to find their answers, they're watching us.
